For the 18th Century Gentlemans Pouch
« on: October 26, 2015, 05:32:39 AM »
The Original Grizz put a bunch of horns for sale a while back.I picked them up for some winter playing around.This is the first project out of that horn.It's an 18th century snuff/tobacco box made from sterling silver and horn.It's based on a couple of examples in the Winterthur Collection.
